Helen Chong

Helen helped my mom get a speeding ticket dismissed. She took plenty of time out to explain the legal process to us and we did not even have to go to court on the day of the hearing! Of all the attorneys I spoke to, Helen was the one who stood out. She was the only one who seemed to genuinely care ab...out her clients. From the moment you speak with her, you get a feeling that you are in good hands and are working with someone who will get results.

I had original charges of felony marijuana possession with intent to distribute AND a misdemeanor charge of contribution to delinquency of a minor, both of which I was indicted. Ms. Chong was able to counsel me and defend my case to the prosecutor to where the contribution to a minor charge was noell...e prosiqui and the felony charge was reduced to a misdemenor of marijuana possession with intent to distribute less than half an ounce, in which I took a plea agreement. And I now can live with a favorable outcome of not being a convicted felon or being convicted of child neglect. Helen gave me only the real facts, told me the smartest and best things to go about before my arraignment, and the outcome was a great success compared to anything it could've been if I hadn't had her representation. I am very grateful that she was my lawyer and highly recommend to anyone charged with drug offenses. She not only helped me with a good outcome in court, but also helped me improve my character strongly so that I can for surely put these troubles behind me.

Ms. Chong was heaven-sent. We were on vacation and found ourselves trapped in Virginia because of a legal situation. We didn't know anyone and felt lost, not knowing what to do or who to trust. When we met Ms. Chong she was not only understanding and compassionate but very professional, knowledgeable... and strategic. She explained our options clearly; she devised not one plan but a series of plans that would be in our best interest depending on what happened at court. All throughout the process, she was always available to speak with us, answer questions, speak on our behalf and very much aware of our case; we never had to remind her of the details. Ms. Chong's succinct and thorough manner denoted how well prepared she always was. We felt she prioritized our best interest, not by telling us what to do but by explaining our options in detail, involving us in the process in order to achieve the best result possible. In our case, this meant getting a "nolle prosequi" so there wouldn't be future repercussions and to have the option to have the file expunged. From the beginning her goal was the best case scenario; she dedicated all the time necessary to achieve this, never rushing us into an agreement so she could get on to another case. Ms. Chong worked with the prosecution and negotiated in such a way that they understood our situation; she got them to turn around, you could even say she got them on our side. It took 7 months to resolve our case successfully; we achieved a "no prosecution" and the opportunity to expunge the file!! We could not have asked for a better lawyer to handle our case. We are more than grateful to Ms. Chong for her dedication, her kindness and for persevering on our behalf.
